Notes for Harriet Delilah Maxwell: Jim Sanderlin wrote, "I learned something about my ancestor, Hattie Maxwell Ferman, that shocked me. In 1905, she divorced her husband William. It said that he had deserted her 12 years before. I had no idea that this happened. I think that her second marriage to John Littlefield in 1914 also ended in divorce." |
